Too bad all the Army surplus from the 70s are gone now. A used Mule would have been prefect for what you mentioned. A low profile long framed gas engine driven supply and artillery ammo hauler. It was no longer than an average size man. They could haul about anything you could fit on the bed.
My daughter said she doesn't know what we would do without ours. We bought it off of craigslist a while back and had to replace a tire that blew out under a very heavy load of roofing materials. It is yellow and have no idea how old it is but it keeps rolling along.
I can understand that, I think it's gonna be very handy for us too. It is something, how it will replace all three things we need. I have a consultation today at the dental clinic, about the tooth I broke, not excited at all about that. But I think; all they will do today is talk about it and set another appointment to do the work. Just the thought of it has my bp up already, took bp medicine, but they somehow seem to override that. "Fun, fun, fun",
Had a consultation yesterday, and set up the appt.. 3-23-2023 at 1:40. BP was high there even after the bp med, so he wants me to go back to my doctor and get them to add another med, before appt... He told me all the risk at my age, and of it being a thin layer between roots and sinus cavity and what can happen, probably why bp kept rising; and that they will be giving me laughing gas for the procedure, which I've never had. Tomorrow I'm gonna get back on the porch and frame the other doorway, then I have to rescreen the three doors because they are dark screens and we decided on an aluminum screen. Never slows down here but; still very grateful I can do things that cut costs a lot. Will soon start painting everything before placing screens on the porch and doors.
Hope you get that taken care of without any problems. I think a nice generous glass full of Wild Turkey and Coke would work better than that laughing gas. I was a bit light headed all day, it is my vertigo acting up due to this crazy hot weather one day then the next low 40s. I lay down about 12:30 and couldn't get any rest, the cats just refused to be quiet and were bullying one another and making a mess. Got the heaters on tonight and it is supposed to drop pretty low like 32 possibly but that isn't enough to freeze and not worried about my pipes. Got all the livestock a late meal tonight and the heater on in the bathroom so they can stay comfy. I hope I feel better tomorrow so I can work on my game. I take a few days off when I get so tired I can't concentrate like today. I couldn't keep my eyes open and I was trying to go down a list of code to fix a few things. It gets complicated after you look at it for a long time when really isn't. It usually don't take long to know you have a problem when one tank shoots another and another tank blows up. I'm trying to use line of sight to keep the turrets from shooting over their other units. It is 2d so you have to use an overlapping action to know when the shell hits a target but the turrets don't have any AI built in so the shell will fly over the tank in front of the turret shooting. It does no harm but just looks bad since it is not possible to shoot over the tank in front of you or covering the enemy tank targeted. I have the cone of view down to 90 degrees to keep it accurate. I only have two tanks on the map for now so it takes a while to move one or the other to test the code by placing 2 friendlies and 2 enemies close together. Pretty sure it will work if I can just get the code in the right place. The engine reads top to bottom so if you get something in the wrong place it goes wonky pretty fast. Especially audio files accidentally left in the action column without an event first, you would think your speakers blew up. A massive size map that makes it roomy enough to have some fun. I'll record a little one day soon to show you how it works.
This Thursday maybe it will be done, if the bp stays down, I went back to the doctor and told him what Dentist said, so he raised the strength of the bp meds. Taking a little stronger and will go back to doc tomorrow and see how it is working for me. Then Thursday to get it done. Never play any games, to much work around here to have any spare time, but wasn't ever interested in them either. Hope you're feeling better and the weather is getting better for you. And sorry for taking so long to write back, just with the death of Grand Child, these teeth appointments, doctor appointments, working on the porch, and other chores, haven't felt like talking at all.
Jake, ask your doc for an anti-anxiety medication. When I was in chemo, my BP and pulse rate were much higher because I was so scared of the treatment. My doctor prescribed Altivan and it made a HUGE difference. I only took the medication on days that I went for treatment.
Thanks, Beth, I will ask him tomorrow, Have an appointment in the morning so he can see if raising mgs of bp helped before Thursday's appointment, for the extraction of two molders. I too, think something like that may help. Framed the last frame, for the third screen door today. Now have to take dark screens off new doors and paint them before putting the new screen on, and paint all the wood I replaced and everything, then put up new screens and molding on. Getting there slowly between doctors and dentist.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I got the gorilla cart yesterday and put it together, works great and will help me tremendously in moving things around here. I've already been using it, doing the porch, and even used it to cut boards today. Marie came out on the porch late today when I was thru working for today. And said; well I see you've already loaded it, with your tools; well when I need it; I will just dump them out.
The last wagon I got for my garden use Jake used to hold his welder, so I said no more tools or machinery in the wagons, well there are tools in it.
You are probably right, Beth, "happy wife", "happy life". They're well-built great wagons and easy to maneuver around. I was surprised Mary Stetler said she's had one for years and she and her daughter can't do without there's.
We have one similar to that; we had to buy it when my red Radio Flyer finally rusted through. I really loved my Radio Flyer.
We had a yellow one like the one below, and it's rusted badly too. Marie loved that one for years, but I like this one way better. All the upper sides are gone now on our old one, with only the bottom left.
